Anxiety Book Reviews:
|
 |
Peace from Nervous Suffering by Dr. Claire Weekes is probably the most helpful book when it comes to anxiety and panic attacks. This book offers a lot of the same information that is offered in today's more expensive anxiety programs. I highly recommend this book even if you are already participating in a cognitive-behavioral program or CBT therapy. It works wonderful as a support book. This book is no longer in print and new copies of this book can be expensive. You can also get this book from the local library but I really recommend owning your own copy. I would not give mine up for anything! |
 |
Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Dr. Claire Weeks is the next best thing! This book is a great companion to Peace from Nervous Suffering. This book offers information from the perspective in relation to the challenge of Agoraphobia. In my opinion, there is no other book like this one. You can get a used or new copy fairly cheap. I also recommend owning your own copy, especially if you suffer with agoraphobia. This book is a true blueprint for recovery! |

Pass Through Panic: Freeing Yourself from Anxiety and Fear by Dr. Claire Weekes Audio Cd (Audio book) is another great resource. This is particularly helpful to those who need to hear her voice and reassurance. She has a kind hearted-soft voice. Being a native to Australia, she has an accent that I found soothing. This Audio Cd is great to bring along when driving and challenging stressful situations away from home. |

The Imp of the Mind: Exploring the Silent Epidemic of Obsessive Bad Thoughts by Lee Baer, PhD is a great book that deals with unwanted obsessive thoughts. Lee Baer, is a leading expert on obsessive compulsive disorder and in this book he specifically talks about the obsessions. Example: who has these thoughts, why do we have these thoughts and how to deal with these thoughts. |

From Panic to Power by Lucinda Bassett is a good book. Lucinda talks about her experience with anxiety , panic, agoraphobia and obsessive thoughts and how to overcome it all. The information in this book is some of the same information provided in the Attacking Anxiety and Depression program but more condensed and without group discussions. Lucinda is an inspiration to many because she has been through it herself and has reached genuine recovery. |

Life Without Limits by Lucinda Bassett is a good companion book to From Panic to Power. In this book, Lucinda focuses on how to spot self sabotage, and how to move past those things that would hold us back from success.

Life without Limits focuses on moving forward, to challenge yourself to change and to reach your dreams. |

Eating Well For Optimum Health: The Essential Guide to Bringing Health and Pleasure Back to Eating by Andrew Weil, M.D. was recommended to me by my doctor! Believe it or not, not all doctors use medication as their only approach. My doctor is a firm believer in proper diet and nutrition and believes it plays a huge role in healing. This book helped me discover that what I was eating (or not eating), was contributing to my condition. I find this book to be an excellent guide and recommend it to all. |

When God Doesn't Make Sense by Dr. James Dobson is a great book that came at the right time for me. This book helped me look at suffering in a different way.

I would recommend this book to anyone because we all go through suffering and we all struggle with different things. This book is a great handbook on both of these subjects. |
